PICU (Pediatric Intensive Care Unit) at Anurag Children’s Hospital
When a child faces a serious illness or medical emergency, they need more than just treatment — they need specialized care, advanced technology, and a team that truly understands children. At Anurag Children’s Hospital, our Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) provides 24×7 advanced critical care for children suffering from severe or life-threatening health conditions.
Our PICU is designed to deliver specialized monitoring, intensive treatment, and emotional support, ensuring that every child receives the highest level of medical attention in a safe and compassionate environment.
What is a PICU?
A Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) is a specialized hospital unit equipped to care for infants, children, and adolescents who are critically ill or recovering from major surgeries, severe infections, or accidents.
At Anurag Children’s Hospital, our PICU combines modern equipment, expert pediatric intensivists, and trained critical care nurses to provide immediate and continuous medical support to young patients.
When Does a Child Need PICU Care?
A child may need PICU admission in cases such as:
- Severe infections (e.g., pneumonia, meningitis, sepsis)
- Breathing difficulties or respiratory failure
- Accidents, head injuries, or trauma
- Post-operative care after major surgeries
- Seizures, neurological issues, or altered consciousness
- Poisoning or drug overdose
- Heart or kidney failure
- Complications from chronic illnesses
Our paediatricians and emergency team evaluate each case promptly to determine whether PICU care is needed, ensuring timely intervention and the best possible recovery.
